Our property is located 30 miles North of Reno, in the expansive Palomino Valley. The west is still alive and well in this part of the country. We have wild horses, Mountain lions, Bobcats and Coyotes. As neighbors, we have ranchers, farmers, hotel owners, contractors, and even a few city folks looking for a place to take a breath, not to mention a large community that embraces their second amendment rights. It takes a certain kind of person to live “out here.” As the saying goes, for those who know no explanation is necessary and for those who don’t no explanation is possible. If you wonder at all come out any clear night and look at the stars! Ranches here span from forty acres to six hundred acres and the valley is as diverse in terrain as its many residents. At the foot of the Valley you will find flat land with fields flourishing through the growing season with alfalfa and grasses. As you travel up toward our property the flat land gives way to mountain peaks, with juniper, sage, goat weed, and huge rock formations, granite, volcanic rock, and quartz, to name a few. We also have what I have coined “Ferry Dust” which is shiny glitter like pirate dust that sparkles all over the property. It will cover your boots in it when you hike the peaks and valleys. The peaks that form a crest around our property are part of the Pah Rah Mountain Range, high desert in all its brilliance and we own 84 of these magnificent acres. Land ownership, especially big land ownership, in Nevada is a privilege with 80 percent of the states land owned by the government. We appreciate every ounce of dirt, grass, wild flowers and stone this property has and have hiked its peaks and washes to discover every time a new source of inspiration in our land. This year finds us FINALLY completing our dream home. If you don’t know the struggles and perseverance this took you can read about it on our page titled, “Life Is Not a Rough Draft.”  Up for a visit?  Aside from the obvious gaming and entertainment industry that makes Reno famous we also have Pyramid Lake only 15 miles away. Pyramid Lake is a salt water lake so large it has its own tides, and boasts huge Pyramid shaped rock formations that protrude up from its blue belly. Reno also boasts hundreds of thousands of acres of open space for recreation and pleasure. If you want to make a mini vacation out of your visit bring your horses and stage them here. We always welcome visitors on site so please don’t hesitate to contact us.
